vintagelove, 5 years agoExquisite and extra-ordinary like the rest of your jewels! At a glance, I would never have thought your pendant's center design was done in hair, it's so very fine. The tiniest of pearls touches my heart too... And your woven blonde hair brooch with the faceted jets? or onyx? is so beautiful with its rich gold setting -- so glittery and bright for a mourning jewel. Thank you for sharing!
